What flavor profile should I expect from the Intenso Dark Roast?

• Dark-roast character with cocoa and toasted aromas
• Subtle dried-fruit undertones for complexity
• Full-bodied mouthfeel and lasting finish

These IperEspresso capsules are made specifically to function with illy’s IperEspresso machines, including models X1, X7.1, and Y3.3. The capsules are not universal; they lock into the IperEspresso system so the machine can extract the intended crema and flavor profile.

• Insert capsule, close head, press brew—no grinding needed
• Fast heat-up and extraction for quick espresso shots
• Consistent crema and flavor with each capsule

How is the coffee sourced and roasted?

illy blends only high-grade Arabica beans selected from multiple regions to achieve balance and complexity. Roasting is calibrated to dark intensity for the Intenso expression, preserving aromatic oils while developing roasted and cocoa notes.

• 100% Arabica beans selected from South/Central America, India, and Africa
• Careful dark-roast profile to enhance body and cocoa tones
• Quality control at roasting to maintain consistency across capsules
